You can cover any sized box in fabric and use them to give jewelry - by making these DIY gift boxes with Mod Podge!Hello lovely Mod Podgers! It' Rachel again from Lines Across. I really love coming up with creative ways to wrap gifts. So much so, in fact, that I just launched a new website dedicated to all things gift wrap related called Let's Wrap Stuff. Stop by and check it out. You can even submit your own gift wrap ideas (even if you don't have a blog!).

Do you have a lot of fun fabric lying around and you're not sure what to make with it? Maybe you have some cute scraps leftover from another project. Or maybe, like me, you can't resist buying weird shaped cuts of pretty fabric in the discount bin at the craft store.

These fabric covered jewelry DIY gift boxes are a perfect scrap busting project. You can tie a little bow around the top and use this handmade box to give a special gift, or you can just make a few to store your own jewelry in and add a little more color to your dresser.

Fabric Covered Gift Boxes

What you need:

  • Fabric Mod Podge
  • Fabric
  • Scissors
  • Brush
  • A Jewelry Gift Box
  • Felt

Fabric covered jewelry box - suppliesWhat you do:

1. Start by cutting a piece of fabric that will cover the top or bottom or your box. Make sure you leave extra room to cover the sides. Dab a medium coat of Fabric Mod Podge over the top of your box. You could also use regular Mod Podge, but the Fabric Mod Podge has a thicker texture that seems to soak into the fabric well.

step 12. Place the fabric on top of your box and press down so that the fabric is smooth and there are no bubbles. I wanted the box to feel like fabric, so I did not add any Mod Podge on top of the fabric.

step 23. As this is drying, flip the lid over and cut carefully along each corner of the box as shown in the picture below.

step 34. Dab Mod Podge around the outside edges of the box, and fold over the fabric pieces. If you are using a thin fabric, you can also fold the fabric over the box and add Mod Podge to the inside of the box as well. This will give a very finished looking edge on the outside of the box. You could also very carefully trim the fabric right across the edges of the box. Repeat the same process for the bottom of the box. (It would also be cute to just add fabric to the lid.)

step 45. If you want to add another touch, you could cut out a piece of felt and attach it with Fabric Mod Podge to the inside top and inside bottom of the box. It will also cover up the uneven edges of fabric that might be showing through. I used bright yellow felt for the top and bottom. (If I could do it again, I would use white felt for the bottom since it barely shows through.)

6. Since I wanted the box to feel like fabric, I didn't add any Mod Podge to the outside of the fabric. I did, however, go back and add a very small amount of Mod Podge along the edges and corners to prevent fraying. Make sure you give the box ample time to dry before you put the top on the bottom.
